Clinical work heightens a student’s understanding of class content, enhances practical skills and introduces the student to the “real world” of law. Students are eligible for clinical study upon the completion of the first year of law school.
Each unit of externship study represents 72 hours of work. Students may take not more than four (4) units of clinical work, except that an additional four (4) units of clinical work may be completed in the New American Legal Clinic (NALC). Students must seek approval from the Academic Dean or Dean of Students, register and pay for externship units, as they would any other course, prior to beginning the work for which they plan to seek credit. This is also true for students seeking externship credit for the NALC Clinic. Failure to complete this process prior to beginning work will result in denial of credit. All students, however, are encouraged to participate in uncompensated work, beginning their professional obligation to engage in pro bono work.
